100% yes- with no question or hesitation.

boatdays got a reaction from makemyownluck in Surgery on monday! Any last minute advice?
Oh and regarding gum. I chewed some day 4 after surgery and accidents swallowed. Called my surgeon in a panic ad he assured me I would be just fine- and I was. I pretty much chew gum every day, with no issues. Today actually marks 3 mos. for me exactly.

I am 3 mos. out today- haven't regretted it once. If anything, I wish I had it done sooner. Down -50lbs and 32 inches in 3 mos. (starting weight 265 and 40 yrs old)

Congrats to you! Just last week I too was able to move from the Women's World Section at the store to the regular misses. I was over the moon happy! Keep up the good work!

I only told one person, my mom. I am down 47 lbs in just under 3 mos. I say diet and exercise. Which is the truth. Good Luck!

boatdays got a reaction from DrmBig4Evr in STRAWS AND GUM
I was not told no gum. Chewed some on day 5 following surgery. Accidentally swallowed it- panicked! Called my surgeon on the weekend, he said I would be just fine. 8 days later and I was and am perfectly fine.

boatdays got a reaction from TTL in Anyone having problems telling others?
I told only my mother, and I am so happy I kept it all private.

boatdays got a reaction from TTL in What are some things that you cannot eat after surgery that you have before surgery!
So far ice cream and clam chowder are the only things that have made me sick. I ate the smallest amount of ice cream- it was actually a couple bites if a shamrock shake. Other than that- most things are a-ok! Even tried a hot dog and bun tonight at a basketball game. I am 6 weeks out and down -32lbs.

boatdays got a reaction from No game in To tell, or not to tell?
I am surrounded by amazing people in personal and professional lives- I kept 100% private. Only my mom and surgeon know. I really think it's a personal preference.

I think you should go! You would be feeling fine by then.

boatdays got a reaction from alfordhe in Time off from work
My surgery was 1/21. I am taking off 2 weeks, using vacation days. If I had to return tomorrow (one week) I would be able to do so. The added week of rest will be helpful in healing. Pain and energy wise I could go back tomorrow.

boatdays got a reaction from ebonisekim in I just cried ( melt down )
I was also sleeved on Monday. I had a morning of a few tears- I think it's fairly typical. Hang in there! I am looking forward to this journey with you and the others. All Best!
